THE FINAL COUNT DOWNNNN.

This image is not from today.

Today was pretty hectic, I stayed up until around 4.30am doing absolutely nothing but attempt to stay up until 6am to see my edexcel results, I was proper bored so I watched my Kidulthood DVD...and fell asleep on the sofa. The time hit around 6.20am and I was up faster than a man on viagra, ran straight to the computer and checked it all out. What do I flippin see??!! MATHS A, HISTORY A, TRIPLE SCIENCE B,B,B!!! I couldn't believe it, the fact that I was soooooo close to an A in the sciences was tearing me up inside, however I didn't care too much AS LONG AS I PASSED! I darted upstairs to my mum who was getting dressed for work, the look on her face when I told her. You would have thought she was the one getting the results. She told me to be happy and not worry about the science, and its true WHY WAS I WORRYING, I DIDN'T THINK I PASSED IT IN THE FIRST DAMN PLACE. I was kind of excited after that point on, however didn't want to get too overexcited as it may backfire. So mum left, hugs, wished me luck and gave me her phone and coerced me into phoning her STRAIGHT AWAY. The brother and sis ring, I explain they are happy but I'm still scared about the rest. You know when time seems to go eeeeeextra slow when you are eager to go somewhere?? That was frikin happening, luckily I watched bare episodes of Peep Show online...soooo funny. I left and charged my madres phone with £5 credit...desperate times people. Took the 355 to the Library and dropped my books, had to pay £2 as they were *cough* overdue! Catch up with Georgina who got a flippin tatoo and it looks so sick too, then Rochelle, Courtney and I made our journey. The bus journey was going unbelieveably slowwww, so we decided to prank call people pretending to be 'Jenny from Edexel' and we had a very simple message:

Hi this is Jenny from Edexcel, you did sh** in the exams, why not take up stripping?

Victim number one: "Hello?....is this Simone?"

Me: "Ummm, *20 second silence* no.", violently slams phone shut.



Victim number two: "Hello, who is this?"

Me: "Jenny from Edexcel you results are late, can you meet me in the carpark"

Victim number two:"Sureeee, I'll be sitting between the cars"

Us three: "JOOOOKES ITS US, SEE YOU AT SCHOOL"

Victim number two: *giggles* "you deeeeekheads"



We get closer to school, Rochelle starts hyperventilating (sp?), so were trying to calm her down. She comes around. We see a friend who claims she failed and will be murdered by her dad, I wanted to reassure her, yet I don't know how and I'm slightly concerned about my own welfare. Rochelle 'Re-hyperventilates'.



We get into the building see Asha and her madre, smiles, hugs I talk to Elisha who doesn't want to open hers and I hear Courtney scream 'I got an A in Mathssss' we go maaaaaad, start whylin out and that, it was too much. She runs into the line with Rochelle to get her slips. Meanwhile, I like the tortoise I am, look at the notice board for mine, I see the A's I already discovered, then Miss Gomez (spanish) comes up to me:

Simone have you seen your spanish? You NEED to see it.

So nervously, I approach my candidate number and read spanish...A?....A...A!!!!!....I got a fricking A. Bare with me, considering at the beginning of year 10 a few friends and I were told if we dont 'behave' we will not do Spanish at all and have one less GCSE. Also, the fact that I was originally doing Foundation, yet knew I could do so much more (yes iboast). Then I read English Lang/Lit...another fricking A!!!for both. Once again I was originally doing Foundation, but Miss Darymple told me I should try and be more daring, take chances...so I did. Sociology...A, and Dance also an A!!! I could not believe it, I ran to the line and pushed past the mass of people to catch up with Courtney and Roch, I told her the news and she (Courtney) had a similar story. Our other friend Lattrice wasn't in (just got back from holiday) so we had to write down her results, we smiled when we came across grades we knew she would love e.g. Maths, and mourned over ones she would detest e.g. Sciences (Double). Courtney and I were so flippin haps, we couldn't believe it, it was surreal we both thought we were dreaming. Then some photographer approaches us saying something like:

You know those smiles you had...do them again.

Us being the ghetto youths we are, we posed like badmen, gun fingers galore and peace sign heaven. We started getting a little too comfortable and began requesting additional shots e.g. "Oh, and other one...get my best side please". I THINK he said it could be in the paper, I should be excited..however my brush kind of failed to meet my hair this morning therefore it looked like a thing we call CRAPPPP.

I was soooo happy, but as some of my other friends weren't so lucky, I toned it down ALOT. I actually forgot my grades as I was busy comforting my other friends, and although I didn't know what they were going through I somehow knew how it must have felt. Frig what the government think, they all did excellent in my eyes and thats all that matters to me. I wanted to speak to the connexions advisor, but I thought thats just being unreasonable as I managed to get my passes, therefore I don't need too much advice. I really wanted my maths teacher, Mr Petersen and spanish teacher Mrs Nubret to be in, they gave me the craziest amount of support and not to mention the comedy I received from them!

I called the fam and they were as happy as I was, the funniest moment was when my dad called me and said:

Did you pass? Ok, bye.

After we planned to drink, but it never happend, so we ended up busing it home and getting McDonalds nuttin' like a cheeseburger after results mate.Nuttin like it. My sis sent me a card saying Congrats on passing your exams, but it was sent yesterday. I am flippin lucky I passed or...you know what lets not dwell on what could have been k! I dont want the day to end, yet I'm left with a 'what next?' felling.
